Hey Mitrandir, thanks for being interested in the competition. The spirit of the competition is to drive new development, so I'm afraid I don't think your application would qualify for the competition if it has already been finished for 6 months. Were you planning on making some signifigant updates to the application?

This reminds me though there are unfinished questions regarding the acceptance of updates in the competition. I've noticed differences of opinion in the thread already - some would like:
  • new applications only in the competition. Updates to existing applications would not be eligible.
  • new applications and signifigant updates to existing applications in any category.
  • new applications only in any of the main categories, with a separate category for application updates.

It's something we need to clear up so please voice your opinions. If there isnt a clear consensus I'll start a poll over the weekend to get a final decision.

Also.. do ports count as 'new' applications? They are new to our community devices, but are existing applications that are being ported over.. it's a headache question

Hi rainisto, Im not sure of that term can you expand on it so we know what exactly you mean? I google searched for "abused capabilities" and got a lot of stuff not related to mobile app development!! If you mean using software or hardware for purposes other than it was intended then perhaps.. it would depend on the application. For example, we wouldn't be happy to accept anything into the competition that was a serious risk of bricking or damaging the users device.

Edit: thinking about it again, is this an Aegis security token question?
